Modular LED Lighting Module With Series Wiring For Cove Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cove lighting systems using LED lights face issues where an entire strand becomes inoperative when portions malfunction or need replacement, due to specific wiring requirements.
Innovation Solution
The LED lighting module comprises three bases connected by spacer tubes, with a central printed circuit board that allows for series wiring, enabling individual module replacement without shutting down the entire system, and flexible configuration for various shapes and angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If LED lights are wired in series with specific wiring requirements, then the lighting system can be compact and efficient, but the entire strand becomes inoperative when portions malfunction or need replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The LED lighting system is divided into separate modular units, each with its own power supply and control circuitry. This segmentation allows individual modules to be replaced without affecting the operation of other modules, resolving the contradiction between system continuity and ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary components such as isolation transformers and separate power supply units for each module. These intermediaries decouple the wiring dependencies between modules, allowing individual module replacement while maintaining overall system operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If LED lighting modules are designed with fixed wiring configurations, then manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to different cove shapes and angles is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The LED lighting modules are designed with adjustable and reconfigurable mounting mechanisms that allow dynamic adaptation to different cove shapes and angles. The modules can be physically repositioned and rewired in different configurations without requiring complex custom wiring for each installation scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal module designs with standardized connection points and mounting interfaces that can accommodate various installation geometries. This multi-functionality allows the same basic module design to serve multiple configuration needs, reducing wiring complexity while maintaining adaptability.

AI summary
The present invention is an improved LED lighting module. Preferably, the LED lighting module comprises a first LED base, a central LED base containing a printed circuit board, and a third LED base, where the first and third bases are connected by spacer tubes. Each LED base has an LED pc-board mounted thereon. A main power line runs through the set of three LED bases. A first series connector line connects the printed circuit board to the first LED board and a second series connector line connects the printed circuit board to the third LED board. A first connection line connects the first LED board to the central LED board and a second connection line connects the central LED board to the third LED board. These LED module sets can be connected consecutively to create strings of series wired sets from the same main power lines.
